Donald Trump — who was criticized for lack of preparation ahead of last week’s debate — is trying to turn the tables on Hillary Clinton.

At a town-hall campaign event in New Hampshire on Thursday, Trump insisted Clinton wasn’t actually prepping as much as she was getting credit for.

“I said forget debate prep. I mean, give me a break,” Trump said according to Politico. “Do you really think that Hillary Clinton is debate-prepping for three or four days? Hillary Clinton is resting, OK?”

The dig at her stamina is a favorite technique of Trump's. It fuels conspiracies about her health, which gained steam after she stumbled outside of a Sept. 11 memorial event, later revealing she had pneumonia.

Clinton spent time off the trail preparing ahead of last week’s debate in Hempstead, N.Y., and it paid off; many analysts and polls gave her the victory.
